Denham-Blythe participated as an exhibitor at the 2024 K4C (Kentucky Construction Career Council) Career Fair in September. The two-day event was attended by nearly 3,000 high school students in the Shelbyville, Kentucky area and provided an opportunity to learn about construction industry careers. Various hands-on exhibits included welding, operating heavy machinery, and building a brick wall. Denham-Blythe held a popular nail-driving exhibit that was a hit with the students and allowed us to speak with them about the many career opportunities in construction. #K4C #WeAreDesignBuild #constructioncareers

In June, Denham-Blythe hosted the annual “Grow from Within” STEM career day for 23 local middle and high school students interested in Engineering and other construction careers at the Lexington headquarters in Lexington, Ky. Presentations and experiments were shown throughout the day by mechanical, civil, structural, and electrical engineers as well as architects.

Several breakout sessions and activities for students included an introduction to architectural model building, a drone demonstration, 3D scanning and wooden beam demonstrations, and other STEM-related construction uses.

It is hoped that the event will inspire students to consider choosing STEM careers in the construction industry for the future.
